History
Established in 2006.
Steve and Arleen Chafitz, e-End's co-founders, have a long history with electronics and communications. In the early 1970s they established Chafitz Electronics in Rockville, Maryland, which became one of the nation's leading retailers and consumer electronics fulfillment organizations. The company was one of the first to introduce many of the earliest consumer products that used integrated circuits.
e-End was founded when Steve and Arleen recognized the importance of good environmental stewardship in managing and recycling the "end-of-life" stages of electronic products, many of which they helped introduce to the market. In the years since its founding, e-End has developed a robust data security business by sanitizing virtually any type of data storage media to meet the requirements of the most demanding clients.
Meet the Business Owner: Arleen C.
Arleen provides overall management and direction for the company and she is engaged in strategic planning, marketing strategies, and advising on sales activities. She also directs the Human Resources department.
In the early '70s Arleen was the co-founder, with her husband Steve, of a marketing and retail enterprise which dominated the consumer electronics market when that industry segment was in its infancy. Arleen was involved in all areas of operations, was instrumental in identifying products, and directed trade show exhibits for the company's electronics game division. Arleen was a major factor in their company successfully negotiating agreements with leading programmers and world champions in the electronic board game arena.
Her varied background and experience is an integral part of e-End's stewardship and recycling programs. Arleen's ability to create a solid team of employees is a major factor in her company's growth and success.
